Open-source Postman alternatives? (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

I've been using Insomnia, but it seems they've enshittified. I started it up after an upgrade and found that Environments are now paywalled/behind an account. Is there a true open-source alternative to Postman/Insomnia anyone recommends?

They have a CLI as well as a Postman like desktop interface. One thing I prefer about their GUI over Postman is the way variables are defined/edited for multiple environments in a single view.

This looks really nice! Thank you!

I could not find the license or source code for their desktop app. Is it even open source?

That repo does not have any source code or license. The license file has a link to their terms & conditions.
